1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease remains a substantial concern in terms of global mortality and morbidity, while prevalence of cardiovascular disease is increasing as treatment modalities improve survival. With an ageing population and increasing costs of chronic medical care, primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is an important target for healthcare providers. Since the previous iteration of this paper, new international guidelines have been produced regarding hypertension and lipid lowering therapies, whilst there is a growing body of evidence and new therapies emerging in other areas of lifestyle and pharmacotherapeutic intervention. This review outlines emerging evidence in the field and compares and contrasts contemporary recommendations from European and American guidelines.
